I used to post about fresh graduate before and a little bit tips how to get a job and prepare your resume.

There are so many graduates delivered from IPTA and IPTS that come from variety of university and courses. This issue was often discussed since many years ago. I still remembered my friends and I used to discuss about this issue in a Forum during Bahasa Melayu class session in years of 2005. (form5) and after 7 years this issue is still hot topic to discuss.

Last week, my manager and I have a short discussion about this issue. Since we are looking for new QC Executive, i was responsible to post the advertisement about the vacancy. Normally i post to MUDAH.. So easy ok.. the most important thing is, advertise the ads. at MUDAH is FREE!! haha

Ok. Back to the topic.

Nowadays, fresh graduate really hard to find a job even they have good qualification. When I was a person in charge in looking for new candidate for my replacement, then i know how hard to find a suitable candidate. I'm lucky because after advertise the ads. in MUDAH then a few days later, Jobstreet have call us and offer to advertise our ads from MUDAH to jobstreet and it was free also.. hehe.. so I was agreed because Jobstreet is one of the popular vacancy website.

As expected, I received a lot of applications after Jobstreet advertise our ads and most of them is fresh graduates.. At first, I have forward the applications to my manager then he asks me to stop forward the fresh graduates's applications and I followed the command. huhu..

We have to give a chance to the freshie. They will have the experience after they got a chance to work. Employer prefer for those wo have an expereriences~ YES!! But, I do not understand of this phenomena. But, u have to accept the fact freshie..

I used to be a jobless before. After 5 month after graduated, then I got a job as a lab assistant after hundred applications of chemist and QC executive.
Even u are degree holder but u have to learn from the beginning even as a lab assistant and please.. do not to care about the position. U must think about the experience that u will get. Then, u have to work and learn hard, so that u will promote to higher level.

Every morning I will check my email, and as expected there are so many application's email I got.. Since we are post ads in Jobstreet and Mudah so there a lot of applications. Average 50 applications per day.. and now about 200 applications I have received. But, i'm still frustrated because most of the candidates not qualified with our requirements.

There are no candidates experienced specific in personal care and Muslim consumer goods industries. Many of them come from engineering field which is not qualified in chemical industry.

For those who experienced in chemical industry , they are really demanding to get better salary.. This is local company and not multi national company (MNC).. So Rm4k basic salary requested is really high to demand here.

Most of the objectives not really acceptable in here. Since they mentioned they want to be a apart and work in MNC company, to be an engineer, and so their application totally rejected. Your objective is one of important part here. Also please update your resume~

For fresh graduated, you will be consider if u are really excell in your academic achievement and have a degree in chemistry. Unfortunately, most of them, have a degree in engineering which is not related in chemistry.

Within 6 month in Senwill Cosmetic, I got news from my manager last week about my promotion. My dream to be R&D chemist will become a reality when he want to promote me from QC chemist to R&D chemist..

Thanks to HIM..

I'm not so interested working in QC department. My interested is more to R&D field because i love to learn and know new things.

I accept the offer as a chemist but i never imagine that i will handle QC . Once the manager introduce me as QC Chemist and will handle QC checking, i was so shocked and have to accept the challenge when he said he just want me to learn from the beginning nd start with QC first.. At first i was not trust with him and felt cheated.. huhu..

Lastly, i try to love my job, and it was work after my confirmation. heee.. but still cannot beat my love to R&D.. haha.

I always pray to Him and ask His guidance.. Ask the best for me..

He knows what the best for me..

When i got news about my promotion i was really happy.. lagi happy when my manager said my salary also will be increase also.. and now, i always come earlier to my work place. i really believe that MONEY is one of our motivator.. haha..
